Vinicius Costa, 25 years old, and Andre Dahmer, thirty-two, inspired by US site Iraqbodycount that keeps count of the victims of the war in Iraq, have just created Riobodycount.They decided to shake up public opinion with a very upsetting count: the dead of the urban war that daily shakes Rio de Janeiro.

Since February 1st, 128 people have died and 65 have been wounded, according to the latest report from Riobodycount.

The site's aim is to provoke discussion and put pressure on the authorities to act.

Andre Dahmer recently said on BBC News website that "their hope was to see a lasting peace and social justice in Rio, not a peace imposed by force of arms".
